Search results and permissions to forums

Yup, you recode some pages.  This will cause the search to be slower but I'll see what I can knock up over the next couple of days (once I get the threading tree mod sorted out).

p.

We've integrated WWF so we cannot easily or practically upgrade.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's already fixed this searching problem by sorting out the code.

PS It's not just on searching but on Active Topics as well that this problem is seen. The forum reports all Active Topics within the parameters specified and only applies the security level checking when  a topic is selected.

Search is not really in the same category as Active Topics as some of us, my site included, use unavailable topics to "encourage" registration. Think of a newbie considering subscribing - The first thing they do is to search for their favourites: Nothing found so they go somewhere else.

The complete permissions structure is complex but you could provide a basic Admin configurable switch to include / exclude search results depending on Guest or not (GroupId <>2). Performance needn't suffer at this basic level and it would probably satisfy most people's requirements.
